The 21-year-old chose to leave Old Trafford to gain first-team experience in the Premier League.

Weir never made an appearance for Jose Mourinho and decided he needed a switch in order to achieve his full potential.

“It’s an important time in my career and I think every player of my age wants to try and start playing regular first team football,” he told Hull’s official website.

“I’m just looking forward to cracking on now and getting started here.

“It will be an exciting time once the international break is over and I can’t wait to meet the rest of the lads.”

Weir had spent the last eight years learning his craft at United but will now embark on a new challenge for Hull.
